EATING INNATELY

Vanilla Ice Cream

You’ve gotten love some ice cream especially in the summertime when it’s nice and toasty outside. Ice cream makes me happy. And my ice cream maker makes me real happy. If you don’t have an ice cream maker ask for one for your birthday. It is such a treat and Iclick here It is so stinkin’ easy to whip this up, pour it in the ice cream maker and take a walk (this will make you feel better before you eat 2 bowls) and when you come home, viola!

Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have made these 3 times in the past 3 days, and I have to confess, I’ve only shared a few…um, ya, they are kinda addictive! I used chocolate chips once and cacao chips the other times. I like them both ways. I also think they would be extra delicious crumbled atop of some homemade ice vanilla ice cream…ooohhh, that sounds nice. I’ll try it out for ya 🙂 Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie + Popsicles

Love me some smoothies and popsicles when it’s hot outside. And whew! It’s HOT already! The great thing about these bad boys is that all you need to do is make a little extra smoothie and then pour it into your popsicle mold. I have some similar to these: click here. But these also look pretty fun: Click here. I literally throw everything but the kitchen sink in my smoothies but here is a simple sweet recipe for you 🙂 Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie

Mushroom and Asparagus Quiche (Dairy and Grain Free)

This can be whipped up in a jiffy. We often eat it for dinner with salad and a smoothie. Also, you don’t have to use asparagus and mushrooms- although the asparagus is mighty delicious and readily available at the farmers market. You can sub an veggie that works for you. I have done it with broccoli and onions and it is equally as delicious! Mushroom and Asparagus Quiche

Yummy in my Tummy Granola

Wahoo! I LOVE yogurt but gave it up when I eliminated dairy from my diet. But then I found coconut milk yogurt at ONF, and I fell back in love with eating yogurt for breakfast. The downside is that it is a bit pricey… So for every will there is a way! I came across a delicious yogurt recipe on the spunky coconut blog- I just love her and all her recipes, so I wanted to share the link with you to make your own yogurt…if you choose…otherwise buy it at the store and make your own granola!! Granola is […]

Lemon Baked Chicken

This was one of my favorite dinners I liked to eat growing up. I tweaked the ingredients to make it better for you and it is still one of my favorites AND super delicious.
